Seat Belts - Fiat Punto Owner's Handbook Manual

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
The belt should be worn keeping the tor-
so straight and rested against the seat
back.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue
A and insert it into the buckle B, until
hearing the locking click.
If the seat belt jams, let it rewind for
a short stretch, then pull it out again with-
out jerking.
Press button C to release the belt. Guide
the belt while it is being rewound, to pre-
vent twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wear-
ing it, allowing freedom of movement.

The reel may lock up when the car is
parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly
normal. Furthermore, the reel mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in
the event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchor points and a reel.
WARNING
Never press button C-fig. 1
when travelling.
